Dartigalongue Armagnac Vintage 1985

  • Ageing Vintage 1985, single harvest

Jean-Pierre Dartigalongue, who took over the house with his sister in the 1980s, developed European markets, Spain and Italy, then the United States in the early 2000s. The 1985 harvest aged in Nogaro throughout those years of expansion. The nose opens on smoky notes, walnut and a hint of leather. The palate is light and subtle, with spices and orange peel. This delicate vintage finds its place after dinner, in small quantities. Presented in a gift box, for a birth or a 1985 anniversary.
